4 cones are set out as shown. The ball starts at the starting cone. One player starts at each cone.
Procedure
A starts by playing a long ball on the ground to D. As soon as A has passed he makes a curved run to Bs cone who at the smae time makes a short, straight sprint to A and takes over his position. Player D now passes the ball from A back to A to run on to and then moves towards point X, where he receives the ball back from A and passes with his first touch to B. D and C swap positions. Player B starts the same sequence again.
Tip
4 cones, Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from or to the side of the ball before receiving the ball. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only four players.\n- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.\n- The reciever should call for the ball.\n- Pass and run timing is important\n- Players often run faster than their pass.\n- Don\'t forget the runs.\n- Demand good pass precision.\n- Pass precision is more important than pass speed.\n- Concentration must be held at all times.\n- The players will need a certain amount of time until they have mastered the drill.\n- A good touch and passing skills are required.\n- Anticipation, awareness, reaction, speed of thought and movement with and without the ball are continuously required.\n
